santo salvo

Boy wants a car from his Dad Dad says, first you gotta cut that hair Boy says, hey Dad Jesus had long hair and Dad says that’s right son but Jesus walked everywhere.

There were no new ways to understand the world, only new days to set our understandings against. Through the lanes came virgins in tennis shoes, their hair shining like videotape, singing us into a kind of sleep we hadn’t tried yet. Each page was a new chance to understand the last. And somehow the sea was always there to make you feel stupid.

Do you remember the way the girls would call out “love you!” conveniently leaving out the “I” as if they didn’t want to commit to their own declarations. I agree that the “I” is a pretty heavy concept.
